How should I read the EQAO results for St Nicholas Catholic Elementary School?
EQAO results show the percentage of students who met or exceeded the provincial standard on each assessment, shown alongside the Waterloo elementary average for context. They are provided for information only and are not a ranking of school quality — academic outcomes are just one of many factors families may wish to consider.

Does living in St Nicholas Catholic Elementary School's catchment guarantee a spot?
Not automatically.

Always confirm current school boundaries and registration directly with Waterloo CDSB.

School and assessment data is sourced from the Ontario Ministry of Education, the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), Ontario Open Data, and the applicable public and Catholic district school boards across the regions we cover (Southern Ontario).
School information — including school boundaries, eligibility, EQAO results, programs and enrolment — is provided for general informational purposes only and may be inaccurate or out of date. Boundaries, eligibility, programs and enrolment can change at any time. EQAO figures reflect past assessment results, are shown per test relative to the city-wide average, are not a ranking, and do not predict any student's outcome. Always confirm current school boundaries and eligibility directly with the applicable school board before relying on this information.
